YG SUMMER STUDY: THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES
In a world that is unsure of where to find truth or purpose, the book of Acts stands apart. It reveals God’s plan for global redemption, his purpose for our lives, and the power he has given us to accomplish his mission.
Join pastor Louie Giglio in this eight-session series as he walks through the story of the early church. Acts may have been written two thousand years ago, but God is calling us to be a part of that story today.

GRATITUDE
SO GRATEFUL FOR THE CLASS OF 2022!
Let’s continue to pray for them as they enter this new chapter of life and adventure!
WOULD YOU PRAY FOR ME?
Throughout my life your prayers have transformed and strengthened me. I’ve been asked to participate in CALLED @nadpastors Family Convention this month, and while I feel honored, I’m also humbled, and scared quite honestly. It feels like a cultural crossroads for the church I love, and so I ask for your prayers that I may serve well the thousands of ministers gathering in less than three weeks; That I may serve Jesus well. Your prayers are powerful and appreciated. Thanks in advance. #wearegrowingtogether #gya
